Am% ( ) sa""411 PR ICE 7D. THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1826. DISTRESSED LETTER-PRESS PRINTERS OF THE METROPOLIS. IMPRESSED with sentiments of the deepest -111. gr atitude for the assistance already so generously bestowed, the Committee most sincerely lament the necessity which impels them, a second time, to address the Public in behalf of the UNEMPLOYED PRINTERS of the METROPOLIS. The Printing Business, which has for many months suffered an almost unexampled depression, still exhibits but little, if any, signs of a favourable change; the wretched situation, therefore, of those who have for so long a period been deprived of the means of sup plying the urgent wants of their families may be easily imagined; their only support has been derived from the Contributions of the Benevolent, and the Subscriptions of such of their Fellow-work men as remained in partial employment. Should this resource fail, which the present exhausted state of the Fund renders more than probable, they can anticipate nothing from the approaching Winter but they extremity of Human Misery. To avert, if pos sible, this impending fate, the Committee most urgently appeal to the Humanity of a British Public, trusting, that under such circumstances, further Assistance will not be withheld. In thus urging the claims of their Distressed Brethren, the Cora mine.) cannot deny themselves - the gratification of adverting tothe important and inestimable benefits which the Printer, by the exer cise of his profession, has conferred upon civilized society ;—when it is considered how much the Art of Printing contributes to the amusement and instruction of mankind,—and that, without the instrumentality of The Press, the sublimest efforts of the human mind would, in a general sense, have been written in vain—they venture to express a hope that the feeling which such reflections are calculated to excite in the minds of all in the least degree at tached to Literature, will of itself prevent the possibility of an educated and respectable body of men being utterly abandoned to poverty and despair._ The Committee think it their duty to state, that since the date of their first Appeal to the Public, near SIX HUNDRED Indi viduals have received relief from the Fund—the sum awarded weekly to each person was •proportioned to the number of his family—ranging from 3s. 6d., the allowance of a single man, to 10s., the highest sum that could be extended to the most severe and complicated case of distress. Though small, this relief was most thankfully received ; and the Committee can with pleasure say, that it :has saved many worthy men, and respectable families, from being reduced to the lowest degradation of poverty. • The Committee have to announce the following Donations and Subscriptions received during the last TWo Weeks:— Amount already advertised Two Weeks Subscriptions tore and Pressmen (in Metropolis - - .£1,585 7e.

ACADEMICAL STENOGRAPHY, Being a Simplified System of Short-band, adapted to the juvenile capacity. By T. WILLIAMS, Preceptor of Youth. London, 1826. Bro. pp. 286. The utility of Short-hand is now ,so generally ad mitted, that every attempt to simplify the art deserves commendation. The author of the present system has paid unwearied attention to stenography, and if he has not succeeded to his own expectations, the fault is only at tributable to the difficulty of saying any thing new upon a subject which has been already so variously treated by others. 'The basis of all short-hand must be ,„a, circle and straight line, and the genius of an author will be best exemplified in the manner of applying their various combination to the simple and effective expres sion of thelanguage, than in attempting to invent new aymbols. The great obstacle to the acquisition of short hand is in being able to read, not to write it. The -present system endeavours to obviate this diffi culty in a variety of ingenious ways; but we do not think that the multitude of its arbitrary characters at all conducive to the acquisition of stenography, as they must of necessity burden the memory, and cannot be occasionally decyphered without difficulty. The intro duction of double lines is attended with too much trouble, and must embarrass the learner in the first in stance, though they may eventually be very serviceable in elucidating the sense. The author has judiciously assigned characters to express the vowels, and the spe cimens of his system look very simple—neat—and appear to have been written with much facility, which is a great desideratum in the art. We think that by abridging the present volume into a more condensed form, and dispensing with the ornamental devices, that the author would be much more likely to gain that popularity, which his industry undoubtedly - merits. The present work is well adapted for a gentleman's library. - THE AMULET, OR CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER for 1826. Among the various graceful little remembrancers of the present year, the Amulet holds deservedly a high rank, whether we look to the delicate richness of its numerous engravings, or the literary merit of its con tributors. These fast enrol the names of many of the best writers of thi day ; and what is still more satis factory, they are all enrolled on the side of religion and morality. We can conceive therefore no new year's present so acceptable to all classes, whether the young or the old, as this little volume ; it is an elegant memento to remind us . of our duties in life ; and as such we sincerely recommend it to the attention of our readers. Among the various stars ,that shine so bril liantly in this'little literary 'galaxy, we are induced to select the following choice specimen ':-- THE BELL AT SEA. BY MKS. lIIMA NS. When the tide's billowy swell !lad reached it. height, Then tolled the rock'• lone bell Sternly by night.

This is an intelligent, clear-headed piece of argu ment in which a novel branch of the medical science, hitherto considered as mere quackery, is proved to be highly successful in the cure of those disorders, which the ordinary remedies have failed to relieve. Did M. La Beaume proceed merely upon theory, and turn metaphysician in his dissertation, we should (from an inherent scepticism in matters of novel experiment) be slow to believe his statement ; but he has illustrated his opinions by proofs ; he has shown practically, that galvinism has, in numberless cases mentioned in the course of his book, cured the most inveterate disor ders ; so that the subject is at least worthy of serious and dispassionate consideration. In cases of suspended animation in particular, he points out its efficacy, but as our limits prevent us (as we would wish to do) from following up his remarks on the subject, we shall content ourselves with the following brief but im portant extracts:-- - A patient, about forty years of age, labouring under a complica tion of diseases, had, for years, suffered extremely from indigestion, attended by most of those symptoms ; her stomach was so muc h disordered, that she had not been able for more than a week to taste any food, but was constantly sick, and vomited every fluid she drank, and could not retain even water on her stomach. Her case was deemed perfectly hopeless by her medical attendants; who, in consequence of the great irritability of h er s t omac h , ob jected to a trial of galvinism ; however, at the e arnest so li c i tation of the patient's relatives, I was prevailed upon t o a d m i n i ster it, which I did insmanner that, I was sure, could d o no h arm, for a few minutes only, and that as a mere experiment, w i t h out expect ing any favourable result ; but, to my astonishment, the naus ea and vomiting immediately ceased ; and, in two days after, she was able to eat solid food, as beef and mutton, wi t h out experienc ing the slightest inconvenience whatever, or a n y recurrence of those urgent symptoms. - In anot a h p e p r a i re ns n tr ly ce dy l ia w g as ; caked informed m e t h at her stomach ed in by a physici an to a pat i ent, wh w as i n a s t ate of collapse, ocetasioned by a violent inflammation of that organ, and requested a trial of galviniem, which I adminis tered with such i m m e diate good effect, that a repet i tion was not deemed necessary. A patient, who had for four years laboured un d er many of the above enum era t e d sym pt oms of dyspepsia, and, d ur i ng that period, was unable t o di ges t an y so lid food, living so l e l y on slops, as arrow -root, gruel, &c., was able, in 4 felt days, to eat animal food with the greatest relish ; and, eventually, he regained his digestive powers.

ENGLISH CATHOLIC MEETING. The following was the Petition to which we alluded in our yesterday's paper : The petition, after some further discussion, was allowed to stand as follows : To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdein of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. We whose names are underwritten, Roman Catholics of Great Britain, beg leave to represent, That, on the opening of the first session of the present Parlia ment, we feel it our duty to renew the application, we have more than once successfully made to your honourable 'House to pas, a Bill for the repeal of the penal and disabling laws under which we yet labour : That we worship the same God, are liege subjects of the mune King, and live under and acknowledge the came constitution 46 yourselves. The friends of our country are ours; her ersitiles are ours. In her fleets and armies we render her important ser vices ; to her support we essentially contribute; there iron class offlritish subjects upon whose attachment and active co-operation you yourselves have greater reliance : That we have beheld, and continue to behold, with tmspeakable satisfation, the steady and regular advance which the cause of Catholic Emancipation has made, and is making, in the public mind. During the late election, attempts were made to prejudice the electors against us and our friends, by the cry of " No Popery ;" but the places in which it served those who used it were few; in several, it was received with the most marked disdain. May every disingenuous artifice of controversy, by whom or against whomso ever used, And every measure that tends to disunite, to keep up animosity, or to prejudice one portion of subjects against another, similarly fall : That we have declared, and do again declare,• that we bear ani mosity to.no individual of any communion, sect, or party; that we embrace all our countrymen and fellow-subjects, whatever be their religious denomination, as friends and brethren ; and that we most sincerely and fervently wish to see them all united in the par ticipation of every civil right and blessing which we -solicit for ourselves : That we have always been willing to lay before the public, in the fullest and •most explicit manner, all our religious doctrines, and to disclaim every anti-civic or anti-social principle imputed to us. For this purpose, we have often referred to authentic docu meats, in which our religious tenets are to be found, and have often printed, published, and circulated them ; and that among these documents are answers of the foreign Universities to the questions suggested by Mr. Pitt ; That very recently (we now mention a fact to which we most earnestiy solicit your attention), an expositiOn of our religious principles, framed by the English and Scottish Catholic Prelates, has been laid before the public : That we have presented copies of this declaration to his It Excellent Majesty—to his Illustrious Brothers—to the Cabinet Ministers—.to the Prelates of the Established Church, and to the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glee pow, and St. Andrews ; and that we have deposited the original in the British Museum. We respectfully take leave to annex a copy of it to our present petition, and to refer to it, as a full and explicit exposition of the religious principles of Roman Catholics on the points therein mentioned ; together with this declaration, we have extensively circulated, among our Protestant fellow-coun trymen, an address expressing our adherence to it, calculated, to the best of our judgment, to remove any unfavourable impressions existing in their minds respecting our civil and social principles ; and laying before than a,,hrief statement of the grievances which the Roman Catholics of Great Britain suffer, by the present state of the penal laws, beyond the rest of his Majesty's subjects. We beg leave to annex a copy of this addres also to this our humble petition. \k'c fuc ther request ycon'to consider the progress of public opi nion On the Continent, in favour of civil and religious liberty..-.- Wu beg leave to mention, that the late Marquis of Londonderry announced in the Rouse of Commons, in the debate on the Catholic Relief Bill, on the 28th day of February, 1821, that " the only one question upon which the Congress of Vienna were unanimous was that of doing away with distinctions and preferences on account of religion :" Mil it has often been asserted by our countrymen, that, in wise, good, and liberal councils, our country has taken the lead, and directed the opinion of the world. 'Will this appear in her perpetuating laws, which all allow to have been enacted during a national delirium? By all the feelings which bind you to your country and your countrymen—by every reason which makes it wise to consolidate their interests, to extinguish disunion, and . annihilate discontent among them—by the Justice and humanity which every Govern. meta owes to every class of its subjects--by the undeniable truth thnt equal openings, and equal rewards are due, by the laws of God and man, to equal industry and equal merit—and by the sa cred precept of the God of all Christians, that "all things which you would that men should do to you, you should also do to them ;" as Roman Catholics, suffering under the operation of unjust and oppressive laws, and as British subjects, jealous of the fair reputation of our country, which these laws disgrace, we most earnestly pray you to take our case into your consideration, and to pass a bill, which, by repealing every law that imposes any de claration, oath, or test, relating to religious opinion*, as a quali fication for holding civil offiCes, or enjoying civil rights, may re lieve us from every penalty and disability yet remaining in force against us, and may wipe away the stigma of intolerance which now attaches to our country.. After it had been read, a vote of thanks Wag proposed to Mr. Blount, Secretary to the Catholics; for which that gentleman returned suitable acknowledgments, in a long but unimportant speech. Thanks were also voted to the Bishop of Norwich, for the sentiments contained in his recent letter to the Catholic Archbishop of Armagh. The meeting was then adjourned (with the usual compliment to the Chairman, Sir John Burke, Mr. Clifford having previously resigned it) at half-past six o'clock. A HIGH HOUSE.—A French Ambassador, who was a very tall man, received an appointment to the Court of James I.

COLLIS . ION OF INTELLECT.--Mr. Charles SAM broke Ordoyno, a well known printer of this town, suet with a very singular accident last Friday night, which occasioned his death on the following day, and on Monday, an inquest was held upon the body, at the Ancient Druid, in Newcastle -street, before IL Enfield, Gent., Coroner, when it appeared, that about ten, or a quarter past ten, he went out of his own house, with a paper cap on his head, two jugs in Isis hand , and also some money, for the purpose of fetching some ale from the Ancient Druid, and when he had got within nine yards of the door, Edward Wilford, a butcher, who came out of the public-house with haste, ran against him in the dark, their foreheads met, and the deceased was knocked.down. Mr. J. Bingham, the lace-manufacturer, against whose door he fell, came out of his house with a candle, and found Wilford taking hold of the deceased's right arm, and trying to lift him up.

(From the Pottery Mercury of 'Wednesday. ) Trade is not quite so ,good as we could wish in the Pot teries; we mean that it is not improving, and are afraid that the ensuing season will be a very trying one to all classes of manufacturers, artisans, and workmen. This state of depression, however, is not singular, for accounts from Manchester, Leeds, and most of the manufacturing districts, state that there has been a great falling off during the last month or six weeks. How to reconcile this. present state of trade every where with the various flat tering accounts recently published in the newspapers, we know not ; and must only suppose that a temporary glearrs of improvement has been mistaken for the full sunshine of prosperity. Still, however, we hope that finally this, stagnation in manufactures may disappear, and that full and weighty orders may speedily put all those concerned, mas ters, workmen, &c. into complete and permanent employ ment. RESURRECTIONISTS. (From the Liverpool Courier of yesterday.) On Monday last a box, of a similar. description, and di rected to the same person as the box left at the White Horse, was brought to the Golden Lion Coach-office,when suspicion arising in the mind of the book-keeper of the office as to its contents, it was taken to the Polies-ollice. The following partieularktranspired yesterday, on an exa mination before the Mayor and Magistrates. Robert Foxton deposed, that be is book-keeper at the Golden Lion Coach-office. On Monday evening lot, &bout haltopast nine, •tholeisoner, ..who gaffe his name as Duncan *Gregor, called at the office with a box on his shoulder, and inquired if they had a coach to Edinburgh Witness replied in the affirmative. The prisoner. 4hen mud he wanted to book the box to go by the coach. Witness looked at. the direction, and perceiving it was the same as., the one left at the White Horse, he desired the boy to go for that " friend of his." The boy knew lie meant a con-. stable, and, upon his going out of the office for that pur pose, the prisoner instantly rushed out, but was pursued by the boy, who called " Stop him !—Stop. thief !" The prisoner was taken near Ha rgreave ' s -b u ildings, in High street. A constable came and took the bovand its con tents away. The box was opened _at the Police-office, and found to contain a dead body. Evan Aughes deposed, that he is a porter in the Coach office ; was in the office on Monday evening when the prisoner came with the box. When desired by Mr. Fox ton' to fetch hie friend, he was going out when the priso ner knocked him down, and got away. He pursued him; . is quite sure the prisoner is the man who brought the box. James Gillespie deposed, that the prisoner was one of the men who lodged with Donaldson, at his house in Ca- . therine's-Court; he slept in the same room as Donaldson, and they were always together; always going and coming in at the same time ; he had generally been called John Brown.' The prisoner had left witness's house at the time that 'Donaldson wills apprehended ; he gave him no notice' of his intention to leave; he had not seen him since until this day. The prisoner has, at different times, been Called by the names of Duncan M'Gregor, Rob Roy *Gregor, Francis Osbaldestone, and John Brown. Mary Hindley, who lives near to Mr. Macgowan's school, identified the prisoner as having frequently been in the cellar with Donaldson. The prisoner's answers to the (ptestions put to hirn by the Mayor, were vague and contradictory, but as some other witnesses had to be examined, his Worship reman ded the prisoner until to-morrow, (Wednesday). The body is that of a young man, who died in the fever-ward, and was buried at the parish cemetery, on Mon day morning, so that he had only lain in his grave about 12 , hours. NEW PATENT SLIP. It has long been a matter of surprise, that a slip similar to the patent slips erected on the banks of the Clyde and at other seaports had not been long ago erected at this port. We are happy to state, however, that this deside ratum has at length been; supplied, and that a patent slip may now be includedamong the accommodations for which the port of Liverpool is celebrated. It is situate on the south side of Wallasey Pool, on the Cheshiie , side of the Mersey. The slip belongs to Messrs. Bethering and Co., who have purchased the patent right ; and the machinery and work were executed by Messrs. Owen, Addison,und Grindrod, of the Liver Foundery. The slip is formed on the patent principle; and three vessels may lie upon it at one time. The machinery, however, is differently constructed from any yet executed, for vessels of the largest class working with a double chain, and for the lesser c l ass w ith a singe chain end double speed ; arid it is also constructed to work by horses, the slips already executed being worked by manual labour alone. The largest class of vessels can be wren up at neap as well as at spring tides. The first vessel which was drawn up on the slip was the City of Dublin Company's steamer the Liffey, of 300 tons borate'', with all her machinery on board. The ceremony of opening the slip took place on Saturday lust, and a great number of ladies and gentlemen were present on the occasion, who where highly pleased with the novel spectacle of a large vessel being hauled up high and dry by the aid of machinery. The following are among the advantages peculiar to the patent slip :—" Every part of the vessel being above ground, the air has a free circulation to her bottom and all round her; and, in executing the repairs, the men work with more comfort, and of course more expeditiously, and in winter especially they have better and longer light than within the walls of a graving dock. Considerable time is saved in the carriage of the necessary materials, which will greatly reduce the expence in a heavy repair, and the vessel is in a similar sit ua ti on to one on a buil:ling-slip. No previous preparation, of bilgeways is necessitry,, es the vessel is blocked upon her keel the same as in a dock and she is exposed to no strain whatever, the mechinical power being solely attached to the carriage which sup ports her, and upon which she is hauled up. A ship may be hauled up, have her bottom inspected, and even get a trifling ,repair, end be launched the same tide; an d the process of repairing,one vessel is not interrupted by the hauling up' of another, an interruption which takes place in docks, from the necessity of letting in the water when another vessel is to be admitted."—Liverpool he ~ fiCorintgh of Napl es; improvem en t Murat became propositions ent W ert i ai le i n ied " v a a ci r ' io m us of the capital ; and' among other things, introduced the system of lighting up the streets.
